  • A friendly reminder that students who have; snow pants, snow boots, and a coat are allowed to play in the snow.  Students who do not come outside with the required gear, will be asked to stay on the black top.  This rule is in place to ensure students stay dry.  With symptomatic students from time to time in the nurse’s office we are looking to keep students out of the nurse’s office to call home for dry clothes.

  • There is no school on Friday, January 21st due to Turn Around Day.

  • Your support in ensuring your child is adequately dressed for the classroom is appreciated!  If your child is cold, we are asking that they wear a knit hat or the hood of their sweatshirt, not baseball caps.

  • If you drop your child off in the morning, please follow the line and stay between the cones and the sidewalk.  Please refrain from pulling alongside the drop off line to let your child/grandchild disembark.  This is potentially dangerous and the line moves quickly when students are ready to disembark when adults are assisting.  Your cooperation in keeping all our students safe is greatly appreciated.

With Sheffield Pride,
